Friday evening we are staying in. Dinner will be Peyton's Stuffed Pepper Soup and homemade bread. I am hoping Peyton and Flynn will also make our favorite Spider Web Munch to enjoy as we watch It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. : )
Saturday I have some lesson plans to write and floors to vacuum. Then we have Mass at 4:15. I am actually loving this new Mass time, as it makes our evenings seem longer. Steve and I are planning to visit his Mum before having a date night at the theatre. I am hoping to see The Accountant with Ben Affleck. And eating tons of popcorn with butter.
Sunday looks beautiful, so we will probably spend some time outside before watching our Steelers play. I am planning on a crock pot meal involving beef and gravy simmering all day long. I am also penciling in a nap. : )
But before we step into the weekend, here is a look back at the past week here in our country home.
Steve, Rhett, his friend Austin, and Uncle Chris had a great time in the big city cheering on our Steelers!
Steve did an awesome job of arranging our Pumpkin Patch goodies...
A few before Mass photos of my girl...
And her very best friend.
Flynn completed a unit on Apples last week...
So we celebrated with an evening Apple Fest Tea!
My Mom and my sweet niece Carly joined us as we enjoyed some yummy apple treats.
Flynn and Peyton made homemade applesauce...sooo good...and some delicious apple muffins with a recipe from my super sweet friend Danielle. We also tried some apple cider. : )
Fall is spoiling us this year...
And we are soaking it all in.
Peyton made a yummy spider web cake this week...
And she had some help from a very friendly witch!
Well, I think I will go enjoy a little Pumpkin Spice, my friends!
Pinterest and I wish you a wonderfully, cozy autumn weekend!
Thanks for visiting!
Perfect! I don't know what stuffed pepper soup is but I am about to google it because that sounds divine! Has Peyton seen the melted marshmallow spiderwebs for cake? It looks so messy to create, but fun. And then it looks so great! Seems right up her awesome dessert alley. I hope your weekend is everything you hope!

Aww, Billie Jo your post was just filled with hominess and delicious apple smells (well, the latter in my imagination!).
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy your enthusiasm for this season...its one of my favourites too, but this year I have not been able to give it my full attention. So thank you for giving it yours!!

ReplyDeleteBillie Jo, love that new time for Mass. Was it terribly crowded? I love all your pictures of desserts, children, and pumpkins!

ReplyDeleteIf I lived closer I'd be at that Apple Fest Tea with bells on! Oh Flynn, I'm so proud of you!
ReplyDeleteBillie Jo, could you please send me an email with your home address? I lost it when my computer crashed. My Halloween cards are ready to be mailed.... Bwahahaha
